  • West Indies vs Nepal T20 Series Preview -PowettPlay Podcast

    In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies cricketer Kieran Powell look ahead to the West Indies T20 series against Nepal in Sharjah. With the India Test series in October firmly on the horizon, Kieran predicts a very different travelling West Indies squad, balancing player management with opportunities for fresh talent.

    The discussion dives into key selection decisions, including the return of experienced names and deserved call-ups based on Caribbean Premier League (CPL) performances. Jordan challenges Kieran on what the West Indies coaching staff will want to achieve from this short series: Will every squad member get valuable game time? Is this tour more about squad depth than results?
    The conversation also turns to the coaching question – with Daren Sammy’s role as West Indies T20 head coach as well as his role as Test coach. Would his potential absence undermine the value of this series, or is this the perfect chance for other voices to step in?
    Expect sharp insights, squad analysis, and a look at how this Sharjah series against Nepal fits into the wider build-up for the West Indies ahead of major series and tournaments later in the year.
